Really a great performance man!

Hi, Kile. I love this song and it sounds simple and fum to play. Could you tell us what tuning your in and the chord shapes you're doing? Thank you so much and keep it up

great song and great performance!

I’m loving this sounds like the real old time mountain music mad cool.

Man , This song , particularly, the way you do it is Pure magic. Much respect. Thank you for putting this out in the world. My grandparents always dropped the word bum on my brother and I , and it always made us laugh. Great tune .

please make a lesson on this❤

This has quickly become one of my favorite songs. I’ve listened to it like four times atleast just today and it’s going in my favorite songs playlist. You are a gifted man. Great playing and amazing voice.

Love this! Well done, sir! Good old Utah Philips. Nice banjo too.

Fantastic! Didn't know this McClintock song, but it's now one of my favorites due to your excellent performance of it! Thanks a million! :)

What an incredible instrument and a heart felt performance. Please make more.

I just found this channel and song, just wanna say you are a master at your craft. I love it! 😂❤

Gives me "Big rock candy mountain" Vibes hahaha

Love it! My Pa used to sing this song to me in the 50's and I'd never heard it since then until you. Wow, you're great!

😂😆🤶🎅🏻🙂😎

My mum used to sing this when she was completely annoyed, and didn't want to kill us kids! 😂

Glorious video! Thanks for sharing this awesome version of yours, your voice is truly amazing!

Splendid hearing this on a gourd banjo! You sing verses I never heard on the 78rpm phonograph pressing I know this song from by "Lazy Larry."

Kyle, that's a real old one. I remember hearing that when I was a kid. Off of an oldie. 78. Was never able to get all the words. Thanks a bunch. By the way, a real good job.

By the way, I'm 79. Oh, did I age myself later?

Where ya from, Kyle? All these river videos make me think about fishing much as pickin a banjer.

One big union! Better to be a bum than a slave!

nice honest voice!

As a person who's pop grew up in Australia during the depression this is a good song as it originated in Australia and my pop still sings this song to this day and I showed this to him and he. Was delighted

Very well sung dear.

I just listened to this like 5 times in a row lmao flows so good love it man

Thank you Kyle. It is important to recall these historic folk songs and you do so very well.

Amazingly sung! Which instrument are you playing?

Solidarity forever!

Awesome!

My Grandfather would bounce the babies on his knees and sing this song. His family sang this at his memorial. "Hallelujah I'm a bum" reminds me of the wonderful Grandfather that was a hard worker that loved his family.

Love it!

This is the best version if heard yet !!!

Da fk... He sings it just like it sounds in the original recording... I swear I could hear the "Pops and white noise" from the record lol Great performance, and I see Big Rock Candy Mountain is next... Thought I was the only one in the world with that on their playlist

Loved that banjo and the performance. My Dad’s favorite song to sing while doing chores (he worked 6 days a week up to 10 hrs a day as a delivery driver to keep us all housed & fed). So I learned the “how can I work” stanza as: “how can I work/like other folk do?/well how can I work/when the sky is so blue?” Made sense in San Diego CA. Thanks for the post & for the memories moments!
